What is the best way to handle an employee that selected Married Filing Jointly with 1 Deduction?

I tested a paycheck and a few options in tax. My findings were pretty confusing. I created a check for $1,320.00.

With Married and 3 Exceptions, the Federal Withheld was $19.69.

With Married and 4 Exceptions, the Federal Withheld was $3.15.

With Married and 1 Exception, the Federal Withheld was $52.77.

Someone please help me make sense of this.

This is a great question.

I always refer back to my older blog on the W4 when I struggle with this, I have it noted more at the bottom.

Microsoft Dynamics GP Year-End Update 2019: New 2020 Payroll W-4 how does it work in Microsoft Dynamics GP?

In your example, if they ever marked box 2 we never put in exemptions and we choose the "higher" filing status option.

In this case I assume they did not mark box 2, then we just put a 3 for exemptions.

Hope that helps, thanks
